Given:

Distance: 6 miles

Time: 15 minutes

Determine the rate of speed.

Formula for velocity. 

v = d/t

v= velocity/rate of speed

d = distance

t = time

Solution:

Substitute the given values to the formula for velocity.

v = d/t

v = 6 miles/15 minutes

v= 0.4 mil/mi

Final answer:

v= 0.4 mil/mi
